Thank you for taking the time to visit this site. Allow me to share a little about myself. I have three passions in life: 1)God, 2) My family, and 3) education. I pray that my publishing work is a blessing to you; I believe God has been very kind to me and continues to open publishing doors. I take my job as a professor very seriously and make every attempt to give 100% to my students. I have two teenage boys and have been married to the love of my life for almost 20 years. If I could give everyone only one piece of advice it would be the following, "Greet each day by sliding out of bed and hitting your knees. Tell God how much you love Him and thank Him for everything you can think of. Then give Him your day, energy, passion, desire, and needs. Talk to Him throughout your day. Turn off the radio while you drive and picture Him sitting beside you. Tell Him what is on your mind and ask Him advice. Then wait for the answer. He is faithful to always respond...we often simply assume He will not. Finally, treat each day with the desire to make your Heavenly Father smile. I like to close my eyes and picture my actions bringing a smile to His face." God loves you! In God I trust! Dr. Jill Jones
